“How to play my favourite card game?”

“RAMMI”

             Rammi! It’s the name of the game. To start with we can play this game by 13 cards

or 21 cards depending on the group and the players. This particular game can be played between as many players as you wish. Well we consider 4 players playing this game.

            To start with we need to have 104 cards for 4 players. Shuffle the cards properly and start distributing the cards in a clock wise rotation. Make sure you are distribute 13/21 cards to the each player. Than the one next to distributor in a anti clock rotation should draw a common joker out of the remaining card. This joker will be used as a common joker apart from the 4 jokers existing in 104 cards. You can pop in this joker for making your sequence.

            The real game starts here. Now once we are ready with the cards, common joker and the left over cards kept closed, you need to separate the cards according to their colors. Now the one who receives the first card should start the game. To complete this game players are suppose to make the following:- 1. Pure ( A pure sequence of three cards eg.:- [ A,K,Q / 4,5,6] without using joker.) 2. Trio ( Three card with same numbers or alphabets on it but of different colors [ Joker can be added to trio].) 3. Sequence ( This can be a sequence of card where you can even add the joker, eg.:- [1,1,1 /  7,7,7,7 / A,A,A ]. This sequence can be of 3 cards/ 4 cards/ 6 cards or it can even be 2 sequences of 3 cards each.). In order to make these kind of Pure, Sequences and Trio’s, the players must drag one card from the left over cards at each turn and should check it out with the 13/21 cards they are having in their hand, is the picked card matching with any of the cards in hand to complete any 3 sequences players are suppose to make? If the picked card matches, than the player should pop it in for the particular Trio/Sequence/Pure and than the player should check which card is not good for him in the game, or which one is the least useful for him, he should through away that particular card. Always remind you should not exceed the number of cards distributed to you. As this is the marking game players have to decrease the points so that player can win the game. Now stepping towards the marking of cards the marks are as follows :- 1. For all A,K,Q,J we mark 10 points each, so the more you have them the more you are in trouble. 2. The remaining cards has the same number of marks which is their own number eg:- 4 carries 4 marks, 8 carries 8 marks and so on. 3.Joker carries no marks its all for free.

            As you keep on playing, after some time the first player who completes his all the pairs properly should remember one thing that the last card he pulled in and which fortunately completed his game should be shown first and the card which is not required anymore by a particular player who has completed all the sequences, he should flip the card and keep it over the thrown cards by all the players which will give an indication to the other players that one has finished the ‘Rammi” and now they must be ready for getting their points counted. One should remember the more points the sooner you loose the game. The one who has completed the game must not be marked, but if he shows a wrong game or a wrong sequence we straight away mark him a 100 free points. If one feels that he has really got mess in his hand and what so ever he will not be able to finish the game he has to make a decision at the very beginning. He can pack his game without playing for a single time and can get 20 free points to his account. But if he plays for the first turn and than decides to pack for the other turn the score will be increased by 20 points for each turn he plays. So its better you do it at the beginning. The cutout points can be decided by the players for eg.: The cutout points could be 51,151,201,251,301,351,…….. and so on. So once the a particular player reaches the decided cutoff line he is suppose to be thrown out of the game and the game should continue between the remaining players. The game is supposed to be carried out in the same manner unless we get a final winner of the game who has least marks in his account. Some times “Rammi” is played as a betting game in some of the clubs. People make thousand everyday and some people loose lacks everyday. Its all depending how good you are and off course how lucky you are? So wish you luck for “RAMMI”.
